NEWS RELEASE: Commission approves water main installation for utility

BOISE (July 31, 2023) – The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has approved a water main
installation agreement between Ada County and Veolia Water Idaho that will serve residents in
the southern part of the county.

Ada County has been given a federal grant as part of the American Rescue Plan Act to pay for
the project. The residents will pay the same rates as other utility customers once their properties
are connected. The water main will serve approximately more than 160 new customers, and
construction will start close to the end of this year. Under the American Rescue Plan Act, funds
are available to make necessary investments in water infrastructure. For a number of reasons,
some wells in southern Ada County are not adequate to provide drinking water.
